    I think we should take Fried and push him somewhere else.

    Why a shiksa, though? Couldn't he find a nice Jewish girl in Atlanta? Maybe with a "Shalom, y'all" plaque in her kitchen?
    According to Phillip Roth every nice jewish boy needs to have a shiksa at some point in his life, preferably a farm girl from Iowa.

    I think he should've gotten it out of the way in A ball. Maybe Lake Elsinore. Or Rome. You can't go figuring that stuff out at the ML level.

    that's the problem...the farm system failed in a key aspect of his development

    Seems like they'd have everything lined up correctly if they bring Folty back on regular rest Friday night and have Keuchel start Saturday's game (also giving everyone else an extra day between starts)...

    Folty - big arm righty
    Keuchel - soft tossing lefty
    Soroka - mixture
    Julio - soft tossing righty
    Fried/Newk - harder throwing lefty
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    Fried just isnt clutch. He has 30 grade swagger. I dont think he has anymore options but he could really use some work on this at AAA.

    Early in the season stats were showing that Fried was very good with runners on, etc. I haven't more recent stats but I would not say he is not clutch. I think Enscheff has told us all along that his fast ball is too straight and someone one needs to teach him a sinker and see if it moves well. Until then he's just another of our backend starters, not the #2 he seemed to be early in the season.

    has nothing to do with being clutch. he was stranding an unsustainable amount of runners and it's not correcting.

    So you are also saying Fried's not clutch and needs to work on his swagger Super?

    I agree, corrections are occurring and now Fried needs to make corrections. And his sinker or at least pitch selection.

    ok i didn’t realize you were being facetious saying he wasn’t clutch
